Our Chadian Names



                The people here can’t seem to say Carlie or Athens.    I don’t know why they find it so difficult, but they do.  So my name has been changed to Karolin and Athens has changed to Atens .  They pronounce my name, “Kar-o-lin”, dragging out the o in the name.  They pronounce Athens as, “At-tins”.  I hope by the time I get home I will still be able to respond to my real name.
